[R] Orientation of labels on axes

[Albert Greinoecker]

Hi Michael,

a solution would be not to draw axes directly, but afterwards with the
axis-command:

plot(length, col=color, axes=F)
axis(2,at=<your_positions>, labels=<your_labels>, cex.axis=0.6, las=1);
# left axis
axis(1,at=<your_positions>, labels=<your_labels>, cex.axis=0.6, las=1);
# bottom axis

cex.axis...relativefont size
las...text orientation

see ?axis for further settings

cheers,
Albert
